Parents of the primary section at Vidya Prabodhini school are up in arms against the management, Prabhodan Education Society (PES) for shifting nursery and primary classes to the new building near the Nana Nani Park, which is near the Waste Treatment Plant (WTP) of Penha de Franca.
The parents gathered at the entrance to the new building of Vidya Prabodhini on Friday afternoon and demanded that classes of the nursery and primary section be shifted back to the old Vidya Prabodhini building near Education department.
Speaking to media persons, one parent Harsha Gawas said the school management had collected donations from them for the construction of new building for the Nursery and Primary section.
“We were not informed then that the new building will be constructed near the WTP of panchayat. Nor did the management mention it at the time of offering admissions to students,” said Gawas.
“The parents of the primary section called on the headmaster of the Vidya Prabodhini to register their protest and demand shifting of the classes back to the old old building.”
“The management told us they would talk to the Penha de Franca panchayat and look into the possibility of shifting the WTP elsewhere,” he added.
